Snuggletime Cotton Muslin Blankets

The Snuggletime Cotton Muslin Blankets are large, lightweight muslin receiving blankets made from 100% cotton, sized at a generous 120 cm x 120 cm. Loosely woven and pre-washed, this is the kind of everyday muslin wrap parents reach for again and again — soft enough for a newborn's skin, breathable in warmer weather, and versatile enough to move from feed to floor to pram throughout the day.

Muslin is a favourite for a reason: it's absorbent, durable, and it actually gets softer with every wash. Because the cotton is loosely woven, it stays light and breathable, so it's a practical option for South African homes where the days can run hot.

One blanket, many everyday jobs

This is a true multi-use muslin. During supervised, awake time it works as a burp cloth over your shoulder, a nursing cover while feeding, a lightweight layer for floor play or tummy time, and a change mat or changing-table cover when you're out and about. It can also be used to swaddle a young baby, or folded to create a soft wedge for a little extra stability in a stroller or car seat, and it's large enough to double as a keepsake or photo backdrop.

Gentle, breathable cotton

The fabric is 100% pre-washed, hypoallergenic cotton, chosen to be gentle and soft against a newborn's delicate skin. The loose weave keeps the blanket lightweight and lets air move through the fabric, which helps keep baby comfortable without adding bulky warmth. And unlike many textiles, muslin rewards frequent washing — the weave relaxes and softens over time.

How to use it

Because it's so versatile, there's no single way to use it. Common uses include:

• As a burp cloth over your shoulder during and after feeds
• As a nursing cover while breastfeeding
• To swaddle a young baby using a correct wrapping technique
• As a soft layer for supervised floor play
• As a change mat or changing-table cover
• Folded to create a soft wedge for added stability in a stroller or car seat

Best for

The Snuggletime Cotton Muslin Blankets are a great option for parents who:

• Want one lightweight, breathable blanket that can handle several daily jobs
• Are looking for a soft, hypoallergenic cotton for a newborn's skin
• Prefer a muslin that softens and improves with washing
• Need something easy to pack for feeds, changes and outings

Safe use

A general baby blanket is not loose bedding for an infant sleep space. Current safe-sleep guidance recommends a clear sleep space with a firm, flat mattress covered only by a fitted sheet, so please keep loose blankets out of the cot or bassinet while baby is sleeping unsupervised. If you use it as a swaddle, wrapping technique and fit matter, and swaddling should be stopped once baby shows any signs of rolling. Any use over a pram or car seat should only be done under supervision, with attention to airflow and comfort.

This muslin is available in a variety of colours and designs. If you would like a specific colour, please add a note to your order and we'll do our best to accommodate it, though the exact colour or design cannot be guaranteed and we'll supply what is available.
